First pressing from 1991 in excellent condition. The sixth studio album from VOIVOD "Angel Rat".

VOIVOD are a Canadian thrash band influenced by the NWOBHM, Hardcore and Progressive Rock. VOIVOD are easily identifiable by their use of unusual time signatures, dissonant guitar chords and lyrical themes influenced by post-apocalyptic literature, cold war politics and science fiction.

After "Nothingface", some would say a career highlight of Canadian Prog-Thrashers Voivod, there was little musical territory for the band to conquer. They?d proven that they could Thrash with the best on "Killing Technology" and "Dimension Hatr?ss", and well, "Nothingface" is about as perfect a Prog Metal album as you can get, in our opinion. It was a surprise, then, when follow-up "Angel Rat" didn?t perform nearly as well, earning itself poor reviews and fan hatred despite being a more than decent attempt at following "Nothingface" up. You can hear why people were shocked, however; it is a more mainstream Voivod than had ever been heard before, almost washed-out in some strange way. Yet as with all Voivod albums, there?s more going on than meets the eye, and "Angel Rat" benefits from repeated listens, working its woozy way into your consciousness and staying there. It?s quite a psychedelic album, from the hazy laid-back, almost dreamy atmosphere pervasive throughout the album and even in the artwork, which is avoiding the usual sci-fi theme in favor of a strange cut-and-paste wackiness. A very good album if you give it a chance to sink in, and it is Voivod after all. Voivod have always played by their own rules.
